Susanna Reid signed off from Good Morning Britain for her extended summer break this week, telling viewers she will not return until September 1. For her final appearance, she chose the Delphine Floral Midi Shirt Dress from Phase Eight, a breezy and flattering option for hot weather.
Dress details and price
The dress costs £129 and is available in sizes 6 to 26, in both petite and regular lengths. It features a bold red colourway with an oversized floral print, a button-up fastening, and a tie waist belt that cinches in the waist for a flattering fit. The fit-and-flare silhouette allows relaxed movement, and there are two side pockets.
Versatile styling options
Susanna's dress works for the office with low heels and a tote bag, or casually with trainers or sandals. Adding a fascinator or hat and clutch makes it suitable for a day at the races or a summer wedding. The small linen content in the fabric adds breathability, making it ideal for hot and humid weather or holidays.
